Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on the Proposed Model Safety Evaluation for Plant-Specific Adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-514, Revision 1, “Revise BWR Operability Requirements and Actions for RCS Leakage Instrumentation”

Résumé

The NRC is requesting public comment on the enclosed proposed model application (with model no significant hazards consideration determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for plant-specific adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF- 514, Revision 1, "Revise BWR [boiling water reactor] Operability Requirements and Actions for RCS [reactor coolant system] Leakage Instrumentation." TSTF-514, Revision 1, is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Number ML092510374. The proposed changes revise the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) to define a new time limit for restoring inoperable RCS leakage detection instrumentation to operable status and establish alternate methods of monitoring RCS leakage when one or more required monitors are inoperable. TS Bases changes that reflect the proposed changes and more accurately reflect the contents of the facility design bases related to the operability of the RCS leakage detection instrumentation are included. The model SE will facilitate expedited approval of plant-specific adoption of TSTF-514, Revision 1. This TS improvement is part of the consolidated line
